Abstract

Two commercial flame retardant (FR) additives, a brominated phosphate ester/antimony trioxide mixture and a magnesium hydroxide were added up to 30 and 60% by weight to polypropylene matrix, respectively. The impact behaviour of the PP/FR composites were studied by the Charpy impact test and the impact fracture toughness (G_c) measurement. As the amount of FR increases, the impact properties decreased accordingly. Such behaviour is strongly related to the morphologies and was investigated by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
